Dark brown body, tan head that fades entirely, fine carbonation. Nose is sweet blueberries, roasted coffee and acidity, mild chocolate and caramel malts, like chocolate swirl bread. The flavor continues this coffee and blueberry combination with excellent balance between both, which ends up being a delicious pairing. The coffee still has considerable acidity, probably strengthened by the blueberry, but I somehow don't mind. The chocolate malt pops up again late palate. Sweet, not overly so. Body is light-medium, oily, with fine carbonation. It's enjoyable, I wonder what it would be like a bit thicker.
I didn't think this would work, but it ended up being delicious. I actually get more coffee here than the original Uncommon. A rare good fruit-infused stout.

This is a great variation of uncommon stout. I always love when this comes in to season

Coffee, mocha, and citrus. Medium body. I could defiantly go for more coffee. The berry is very start but it finishes real smooth. Not overly sweet. Very drinkable

Jet black poured from bottle. Straight coffee on the nose. Blueberry adds a bit of sour. Much coffee. OK, better as you drink haha

A: Dark with brown chocolate tones
S: Coffee, mocha, caramel, citrus
T: Coffee and vanilla with a fruity, tart flavor, mildly acidic/metallic at the same time
F: Not very heavy for a stout, odd aftertaste
O: Tasty without being overpowering....mix between a tart lemony flavor and a blueberry/boysenberry aftertaste. Not as strong of a coffee finish as you might expect. Lots of complex flavors going on here but it all jives together nicely. Different yet drinkable.

Hard to say if this is better or worse than Dark Horse's blueberry stout entry. It has a much more impressive aftertaste, as Dark Horse's seemed a bit empty. On the other hand, this one has a weird initial tang to it that is really off putting, and I'm not entirely sold on it. Different, which ends up being on par with its peers.
